Use FaceTime Over 3G Without a Jailbreak via Personal Hotspot

FaceTime has long been expected to support video calls over 3G networks, but thus far it hasn’t happened without a jailbreak. Blame it on the carriers, Apple, the rain, maybe 3G is too slow, or maybe it will be a feature for upcoming 4G LTE iPad and iPhone hardware… who knows, but regardless you can use a little loophole to initiate FaceTime video chat over 3G connections without the need for jailbreaking.

Enable Personal Hotspot on an iPhone

Connect to that Wi-Fi hotspot with another FaceTime capable iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad

Suddenly you can make video calls over 3G.

Not the best solution because it requires additional hardware, but apparently it works.

Here you Go if you got one for yourself->
1. Open Personal Hotspot in your iPhone.
Note: Close the Wifi before you open it. And ask it to use over Bluetooth or USB.
2. Then Open Mac’s Preference’s Panel.
3. Open Sharing
4. Select Internet Sharing
Note: Don’t Mark it. Just open it.
5. On above selection : Choose the source of Internet in your Mac. Say: If you are using iPhone USB then select it.
6. On below selection : Select Wifi(Mark it)
7. You can set password for sharing the Internet.
(Recommended; People surround may use it.)
8. Now, open your iPhone: Turn on the Wifi.
9. Select your own Mac.
10. IT’s done.

It’s completely working fine but it’s expensive…
